Without a Nation.
From the Ne,O York Tribune.


In 'de Souf," especially in the country re
gions where ant-war notions still to a large ex-
tent prevail, there is much jealousy and ill
feeling between the full-blooded negroes and the
half-breed negrOes-betweent the black niggerS"
and the ''yaller niggers''-as the white corner
grocery loungers of those parts call them.
Curiously enough, the black negroes profess to
consider themselves greatly superior to the
mulattoes, notwithstanding the latters ad-
mixture of white blood. They declare that
when that gathering together of the nations of
the earth spoken of in the Bible takes place,
there will be no place for the mulattOes and

THE PRESIDENTS BoYHooD.
The Schools in Which His Early Years
Were Passed.

Washington Letter to the Albany Journal
The centennial of the founding of the village
of Clinton and the local jubilee in commemora-
ton of that event afford suitable occasion for
the President not only TO mingle with that his
tOric community but to visit the scene of his
years of boyhood and partly of his youth
Richard Cleveland settled at Fayetteville, in the
neighboring county of Onondaga, in pastoral
charge of the little flock of Presbyterians at that
place in 1910. His son Grover was child OF 3
years. Here the next eleven years of his boy
hood We're passed, dividing his time between
the primary walks of knowledge and Saturdays
fishing in the creeks of OnOndaga and Madison
counties. At s years the district school OF
Fayetteville welcomed him thus far on his jour
ney along the toilsome highway of learning
Next the Fayetteville academy received him,
but his father, having been called to the post
of agent of the American Home Mission at
Clinton, the seat of Hamilton College, an insti-
tuition under Presbyterian auspices the son CON
tlnued his schooling in the Clinton Academy.
Two years later the family made another move
to Holland Patent, where the father died the
same year. The mother, left in the usual indi-
gence of the family of a spiritual shepherd OF
rural fold, realized the kind offices of the good
people of Fayetteville, Clinton, and Holland
Patent by the substantial gift of comfortable
home.
There she passed the remainder of her days
training her children in the preceptS and prlncl-
pies of useful lives and kept the family tireside
aglOw with the memories and inspirations or the
past and the hopes and announcements OF the
future. The greatest length of years in the
President young life was passed at tayetteyllle,
but at Clinton he worked hardest in his studies,
and from Holland Potent, after several years in
various preliminary occupations, he started out
into the world with no other immediate ambi-
ton than to earn enough money to provide for
himself and have to spare to aid in providing
for the comfort of his mother.
